'To bottom line' something, meaning?

[Lightstoobright]

Just joined a new workplace and several times I've seen or heard the word 'bottom-line' being used as a verb. As in 'we need to bottom-line this'. Or... Your task is to bottom-line X.

What's everyone's understanding of this?
Thanks

You need to finalise the task, get it over the line.

It's an accountancy term. The bottom line on a profit and loss account is your net profit, and the bottom line on a balance sheet is the company's net worth.

So the bottom line is the final figure at the end.

This is my understanding of it as a noun. I think the reply from @itwasntaparty probably makes a lot of sense in the contexts I am dealing with (as a verb). Thanks!

OP I'm glad it makes sense to you as I am still baffled.

Does it just mean "finish the marketing plan" or "finish the KPI report" etc?

I'd interpret this as explaining what the impact of something is... ie the consequences if its followed through.

I may be talking out of my 'bottom ' tho

Well I'd say (continuing the accounting analogy) that to 'bottom line this' would be to finish something off to get the end result you want. Or drawing a line under it, if you will. Another term probably also from accounts.
